Directions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Sift flour, baking soda, and salt together in a mixing bowl and set aside. In a medium saucepan over medium-low heat, stir butter and sugar together until melted and thick. Stir in water and then chocolate chips. Stir until chocolate is completely melted. Remove from heat and stir in beaten eggs until well combined. Slowly add chocolate mixture into flour mixture and stir until a stiff dough forms. Spoon level tablespoons onto a prepared cookie sheet and bake for 8-10 minutes. Cool and sandwich two cookies together with Candy Cane Filling.

Directions
In a large mixing bowl, whip butter, salt, peppermint extract, and food coloring until light and fluffy. Alternate adding sugar and milk until you reach your desired consistency, which should be a stiff frosting. Stir in crushed candy canes.
